If you want to built your OWN code INSIDE the code from the other git repo, the only way to go about it is to merge the other git repo inside yours each time.

To do this easily you can checkout the other git repo in a separate branch (or even git submodule), and merge this branch (or submodule) back in the master branch where your code is.
